"I'd been doing silversmithing about a year and then I moved into Studio G. They've been helping me, mentoring me there," Angus said.

"They've been teaching me mostly digital, how to construct websites, how to animate, how to do that sort of stuff, how to find things.

"It's new and interesting. Every single project is different and unique."

His mother, Melinda Ewin, said she knew it would take longer than usual for Angus to find work.

"You do feel the pain that your son or daughter is experiencing because you know what they're missing out on as well for a normal life," Ms Ewin said.

"It's important for every person to have a job to have meaning in life, to get out of bed, to go and do something to get out of the house, to talk to people to socialise, to be valued or not, depending on the work situation.

"I am so proud of Angus. He could identify where he was going, so he'd been at home for a year, trying to get work."
